Hi all members, this is my first post.
I bought SQL Monitor 2.3 and I installed it on a customer's production server.
I want to backup the RedGateMonitor db on regular basis (prior of data purging) , transfer it to my server and analyze historical data offline.

The SQL Monitor repository is no different to any other SQL Server database. As such, any method for database replication will probably do (mirroring, replication, log shipping).

Our SQL Backup product allows you to set up log shipping with ease, so if they have a licence you have a quick win.

The data purging will mean that replicated or mirror DBs lose data over time. If this is unacceptable, then I'd just recommend taking full backups and restoring them when you want to analyse the time period that backup relates to.

As for the actual analysis, you can install SQL Monitor locally and point it at the restored database. To prevent it from modifying your copy, it is essential that you configure your local copy of SQL Monitor to be in 'slave mode' (=read only). Details of this I can email you, if that's what you want to do: robin.anderson@red-gate.com.

Yes, this is exactly what I want; can you send a mail with details at dbarbon@olicom.eu ?

Just purchased some Production and Development licenses of SQL Monitor and would like to be able to provide Read Only access to developers. Under these licenses would I be able to into the web element twice once to DBA use and once in 'slave mode' for read only access for developers? If so how would I acheive this?
